			<h1>Why does someone think that I&apos;m a <strong>*parent*</strong>!?</h1>
			<p>Day 00568: Sunday, 2016 September 25</p>
		</header>
<p>
	Current countdowns:
</p>
<ul>
	<li>20 unfinished weblog entries in <a href="/en/weblog/2016/07-July/">July</a></li>
	<li>24 days until mobile service ends and I renew on a tablet plan</li>
	<li>22 days until my old domain registrar can no longer counter my charge dispute</li>
</ul>
<p>
	I received yet another email from <a href="http://get.mp./">dotMP</a> today, this time warning me that I only have seven days before my accidentally-registered <a href="/en/domains/ystyst.mp.xhtml"><code>//ystyst.mp.</code></a> domain expires.
	Once it expires, I might register a new domain elsewhere to use with a new job-related email address.
	The two names that I&apos;m currently considering are both available.
	This time, I&apos;ll probably register under the <a href="/en/URI_research/usable_ccTLDs.xhtml#isla.pr"><code>//isla.pr.</code> <abbr title="Second Level Domain">SLD</abbr></a>.
	Registrations there are very inexpensive, though the &quot;isla&quot; part of the domain might look strange to people here in the States.
	The <code>//pr.</code> <abbr title="Top Level Domain">TLD</abbr> might be of use though, as it is composed of my legal name&apos;s initials.
	Directly registering under this <abbr title="Top Level Domain">TLD</abbr> is far too expensive though, which is why the third-level registration is more feasible.
</p>
<p>
	I took the ungraded <span title="Online Education Strategies">UNIV 1001</span> quiz that I forgot to take yesterday, then took a look at this week&apos;s <span title="Globalization">POLS 1503</span> reading assignment.
	Unfortunately, it&apos;s hidden behind a login wall, so you can&apos;t take a look at it, but it&apos;s forty-nine pages long! This week&apos;s <a href="https://fod.infobase.com/p_ViewPlaylist.aspx?AssignmentID=FH2SLQ">assigned video</a> actually functioned though.
	I also completed the grading of all six of the peer essays I was assigned.
	I&apos;ll probably complete the reading assignment tomorrow, as I&apos;ll have the house to myself.
</p>
<p>
	Someone put me on a list of parents on twitter.
	Why do they think that I would ever have children, let alone that I currently do? I&apos;ve given no such signals.
	I would pass this off as someone not paying attention to who they stuck in groups and ignore it, but groups such as these are public.
	I find the thought of being labeled as a parent to be mildly offensive, so I looked up a way to <a href="http://askaaronlee.com./how-to-remove-yourself-from-stupid-twitter-lists/">degroup</a> myself.
	As it turns out, it&apos;s not that hard, though the way to do it is a bit unintuitive.
	Strangely, Twitter doesn&apos;t offer a way to outright remove yourself from a group, but if you block the user that put you in said group, you&apos;ll automatically be removed from any group that they&apos;ve put you in.
	The removal is permanent, so if you unblock them, you&apos;ll remain free of the group, though they will be able to put you back in.
</p>
<p>
	Tomorrow will be Vanessa&apos;s first day of school and our mother&apos;s first day of work.
	Vanessa&apos;s vanessa two or three weeks late in attending school though, so hopefully there won&apos;t be too much make up work.
	Now Vanessa can start making new friends again!
